Liftable tool box for waist belt

ABSTRACT

A liftable tool box for a waist belt includes an upper cover and a bottom box. The liftable tool box worn on the waist belt using an elastic hook can be directly opened so that tools may be taken out of or inserted into the tool box. The bottom box may be opened to a horizontal state perpendicular to the upper cover so that the tools in the bottom box may be conveniently accessed. Thus, the tool box can be conveniently carried on the waist belt while the tools in the tool box can be arbitrarily accessed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a liftable tool box, and more particularly to aliftable tool box that may be worn on a waist belt and can be opened onthe waist belt so that tools disposed therein may be convenientlyaccessed.

(2) Description of the Prior Art

Tools for screwing various screwing elements have been diversified dueto the provision of various diversified work pieces. For example, onesingle tool has been changed to several tens of tools. Taking the screwas an example, minus-type, plus-type and hex socket screw heads have tobe driven by driver heads with different specifications. Also, the sametype of screw heads may have several tens of different sizes. Thus,carrying only two or three screw drivers cannot satisfy the professionaluser or the home user. So, a tool set kid having several tens of driverheads should be prepared.

Thus, various tool boxes for accommodating various specifications ofdriver heads have been developed.

However, this portable tool box is worn on a waist belt through a hookdisposed outside a bottom box of the tool box. Thus, the tool box has tobe removed from the waist belt so that the tool box can be opened andthe tools disposed therein may be accessed. Then, the box has to be wornon the waist belt, and another stoppage in use also rises. That is, theuser has to remove the tool box from the waist belt and then wear thetool box on the waist belt repeatedly, thereby causing the inconveniencein using this tool box.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the associated problems induced by the design defects of theconventional tool box, the present inventor has paid attention to theresearch and development and thus developed this liftable tool box. Themain object is to change the design rule of the conventional tool box.An elastic hook is disposed on an external side of an upper cover of thetool box. Thus, a bottom box of the tool box may be opened to ahorizontal state perpendicular to the upper cover so that tools in thebottom box may be conveniently accessed. Thus, the tool box can beconveniently carried on a waist belt while the tools in the tool box canbe arbitrarily accessed.

Further aspects, objects, and desirable features of the invention willbe better understood from the detailed description and drawings thatfollow in which various embodiments of the disclosed invention areillustrated by way of examples.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The structural features of the invention will be described withreference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a tool box of the invention includes an uppercover (11) and a bottom box (21). The upper cover (11) has a reinforcedconnector (12), which has a fastener (13) connected to the bottom box(21). An elastic hook (14) is disposed at a middle of the outside of theupper cover (11). A chamber (15) for accommodating a waist belt isformed under the hook (14). When the fastener (13) of the upper cover(11) is opened, as shown in FIG. 2, the bottom box (21) is perpendicularto the upper cover (11). A connection rod (22) and various tool heads(23) may be accommodated within the bottom box (21). An elastic sleeve(25) for holding each tool head (23) is disposed in each hole (24) sothat the tool head (23) may be firmly inserted into the hole (24) andcannot fall out with the movement of the worker. The elastic sleeves(25) may be separated from one another or connected together.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user wants to engage the tool box withhis/her waist belt (30) using the hook (14) of the upper cover (11), asshown in FIG. 1, he or she only has to open the fastener (13) of theupper cover (11), and the bottom box (21) may be opened and thusperpendicular to the upper cover (11). Thus, the user only has to droopto clearly see the positions of the tool heads (23) in the bottom box(21) so that the user can directly take any tool head (23) out of thebox or put any tool head (23) into the box beside his/her waist. Thus,the box can be conveniently carried and the synchronous operation may bedone so that the maximum convenience can be obtained.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the tool box of the invention is to beused, the elastic hook (14) disposed on an external side of the uppercover (11) is opened so that the box may engage with the waist belt (30)or may be separated from the waist belt (30). When the box is worn onthe waist belt (30), the waist belt (30) may be accommodated within thechamber (15) so that a smoothing effect at the position of the waistbelt (30) may be obtained. When the fastener (13) is opened, the bottombox (21) thereof is in a horizontal state so that the tools therein maybe conveniently taken out of or inserted into the box.

New characteristics and advantages of the invention covered by thisdocument have been set forth in the foregoing description. It is to beexpressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose ofillustration only and are not intended as a definition of the limits ofthe invention. Changes in methods, shapes, structures or devices may bemade in details without exceeding the scope of the invention by thosewho are skilled in the art. The scope of the invention is, of course,defined in the language in which the appended claims are expressed.
